Sixth place in the session went to Josh Price who was just 0.105 seconds back from Lee Pattison. In seventh place was Cooksport’s Rory Collingbourne with a 0.094 seconds gap from Price with eighth place being taken by Max Coates in his Ciceley run car just 0.231 seconds off of Collingbourne’s time. Ninth place was JamSport’s Ant Whorton-Eales 0.172 seconds behind Coates. Rounding out the top ten on the timing screens was Finesse Motorsport’s Paul Streather who was just 0.001 seconds behind JamSports’ Whorton-Eales.

Seventeenth was Charlie Ladell with teammate Rory Green rounding out the eighteen competitors.

Sixth overall, relying on the time that put him fastest in this morning’s session, was Cooksport’s Rory Collingbourne (he was seventh in session two) and seventh Pyro’s Josh Price. Finesse’s Paul Streather and his Ecomotive-backed team-mate Daniel Rowbottom and then Ciceley’s Max Coates completed the top ten overall.

The second session was interrupted twice by red flag stoppages to recover the cars of WDE’s Rory Green and then PP Motorsport’s Anton Spires who both ran off the track at Clervaux Bend. Rivett, too, went off track there but was able to rejoin the circuit and make it back to pit lane.
